Championship side send highly rated attacker to Chesterfield on loan

Martin Allen hopes a pacy, young Rotherham United attacker will make an impact late on in Spireites games.

Joshua Kayode, 18, has been loaned to the Spireites free of charge by the Championship outfit – a gesture that has left Proact chiefs ‘extremely grateful.’

The Derbyshire Times understands that Salford City were also keen on the youngster, but the Millers preferred Chesterfield as his destination.

He signed his first professional deal with the Millers in November last year after coming up through the youth ranks.

His first team involvement at Rotherham has thus far been limited to a pair of substitute appearances in EFL Trophy games, both last season, against Manchester City U23s and Bradford City – in the same group as the Spireites.
